But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled, but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you yet with gentleness and reverence; and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame. 1 Peter 3: 14-16

The big buzzword in Christendom this summer is UNITY. You might be surprised at how many events are gathering millions worldwide and encouraging them to drop their doctrinal differences to hold hands for the cause. Behind these Unity gatherings you’ll find Nick Hall and his Pulse Movement.

Early in Sunday's 9:15 a.m. service, Executive Pastor Shane Duffey announced that Noble had been removed as pastor on July 1, after the NewSpring board of directors had "made a difficult and painful decision" to make a...

There is trouble reportedly brewing at NewSpring Church in South Carolina, where leaders say they will address rumors it has fired its founding and senior pastor, Perry Noble.The source of this is a report in the Christian Post:

"NewSpring Church, a popular megachurch in South Carolina that averages a weekly attendance of...

What does drawing three circles have to do with "black magic"? The Circle Maker book by Mark Batterson was written a few years back (which continues to shipwreck the faith of the flock today), contains some disturbing parallels with the kind of pagan sorcery used by modern-day witches.

For the first time in almost a decade, Saddleback pastor Rick Warren is bringing his Purpose Driven Conference for pastors and leaders back to the United States, and inviting a worldwide audience to stream it online (for a mere $199). The conference takes place at his Lake Forest, California church in just a few days: June 28 – 30.

To say Kris Vallotton was impressed with his recent meeting with Pope Francis is a lame understatement. With stars in his eyes, Bethel Redding's second in command and co-founder of the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, Vallotton took to his blog to rave about the Pope's call to unity, and to scold any hater that objected.

Is your church shifting into becoming NAR apostate? It could be, and your leaders might not even be aware.

The New Apostolic Reformation, or NAR, is a counterfeit, unbiblical movement that has been gaining worldwide momentum. Its anointed celebrity leaders, meanwhile, are scurrying to distance themselves from the “NAR” label (invented...

When The Shack movie Facebook Page shared the new movie poster for its March 2017 theater release, the post got more than 10,000 likes, 28,000 shares and nearly 2,000 comments - almost all of them from extremely excited fans:

"Cannot imagine not crying thru the whole movie if it's anywhere as moving as the book !!! A must read !! Can't wait to see...

Hoping to influence a major church-wide vote on LGBT issues later this week, 111 United Methodist ministers have come out, openly declaring their dual identity as both clergy and LGBT persons. On Monday morning, Reconciling Ministries Network (RMN), an LGBT advocacy group within the United Methodist Church, published a letter...

If it's been a few years since you glanced at daytime television, you might be amazed at how much it has changed. After a morning on my couch (recovering from the effects of a muscle relaxer for my new workout I call "farm chores"), I found myself feeling more ill than the cause that put me on the couch in the first place.

I’m about to share complete blasphemy with you, wrapped and bound snugly in the heartstrings of emotionalism and self esteem. Before you see this in your youth group, in your women’s Bible study, on your timeline, or even from the Jumbotron at your church, I hope you see it here first.

So many Christian women who love the Lord are very upset with me for warning them about Jen Hatmaker. Yes, I know, Jen is the lovable mom, writer and speaker who is known for being "Raw and Real." Apparently she says what women think, or wish they could say, and she tells a lot of great, emotional stories.

There are all sorts of interesting websites out there with the word Christian in their titles. Many are fluff for the masses. Hello Christian is one I find amusing, always taking news headlines and trying to make them relevant to the life of regenerated born-again believers in Jesus Christ. Before I share how this site is attempting to turn...

The Resurrection of Christ

Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our...

Before you say, "Duh," understand that this isn’t so much a warning to the discerning Christian who ought to be able to recognize these most blatant examples of wolves as much as it is a sad commentary on what fills stadiums and screens.

I remember my shock turning to dismay and then anger in 2011 when I saw “prophet” David...

Last week I wrote about the unbiblical basis for The Young Messiah, and why the producers and creators themselves are problematic for any discerning Christian. The movie releases today, and while I have not seen it to review it, others have. The following is a snippet from Patheos Progressive Christian Channel...

Get ready for another collection of unbiblical dialog and drama that NEVER HAPPENED. The Young Messiah is the movie that will be releasing March 11 in theaters across the nation (Just in time for Resurrection Sunday!), but the world premiere happened in January at the Billion Soul Network's NAR-based Synergize 2016 conference."
